But does he not know that when it involves the internetz American law applies ?:) Just ask that British guy that faces extradition to the US for things that are legal in the UK.
These influential guys will be added to a whitelist of allowed copyright infringers. Do you really expect anything else?
Doesn't matter if their IP's get whitelisted by ??AA-organization, because according to the article...
The plans include requirements for ISPs to “notify their subscribers if the Internet protocol (“IP”) addresses associated with them are reported by copyright owners as being used to infringe copyright”
You can report it yourself without any middlemen if you assert you hold copyright to something and its been infringed on from this IP, and if past is any indicator there are no penalties for false claims.
yet in the U.S. Internet access speeds and costs have remained stagnant.
lolwut? These are just approximate dates and speeds from memory, so I may be off by a few years but the gist of it is about right:
25 years ago, I had 300 baud dialup.
20 yeas ago, I had 14.4Kb dialup
15 years ago, I had something like 56Kb dialup
12 years ago, I had 256 Kb DSL
10 years ago, I had 3 Mb cable
5 years ago, I had 6 Mb cable
today, I have 15 Mb cable (and some people have stuff like FIOS)
The details will be different for everyone, but unless you're going to tell me everyone but me was using multiple Mb connections in the 1980's, I'm going to have to call bullshit on that claim. US access speeds have been steadily increasing every since I've been watching them, and they've continued to do so in the last few years. My connection went from 6 to 15 MB just a year or two ago.
Over here in Finland, just over the past few years my connection speed has gone from 10/1Mb/s to 200/15Mb/s (cable, uncapped) while the price has gone down from 49 euro/month to 14 euro/month. Have the prices dropped similarly in the US?
Personally, I'm more concerned about whetever we get space communism or resource contentration at the hands of 0.01% after 99.9% of the workforce getting laid off due to machines doing everything better for cheaper.
"The Home Office claims that it has no current plans to enforce the law."
Really? Then why is the provision in the bill then?
If you dont need and dont plan on enforcing it why is it being passed then?
Invensting in future = not using all assets towards maximizing next quarter profits = soon-to-be-ex-ceo..
Maybe if the US government socialized the costs like with corn and oil.

Indeed, lucky for this guy Germany isn't UK.
What are the guys at Cisco thinking, really? http://i.imgur.com/x9im4.jpg
Yes, but can it make the Kessel run in 12 parsecs?
Only if you can fit it into Millennium Falcons cargo hold.
I wonder if they factored accidental pinning into their numbers. I frequently pin windows that I actually intended to close (and it's annoying).
Yes they did, but it gets canceled out because they also factored in the people who accidentally closed when they indended to pin.
... If you pitted 2 of these machines against eachother?

"Hopefully this will work."
I believe its called 'creating an illusion'.
"The Home Office claims that it has no current plans to enforce the law." Really? Then why is the provision in the bill then? If you dont need and dont plan on enforcing it why is it being passed then?
And that is actually legal?

Could become a national sport, getting your personal message on Google.
Get your message on google just in time to get it automatically blurred with a lot of other things too.
